After 8 years of retirement, MicroBlaster is back!!! ...and I have rebuilt my site with a band new crawaler called MicroBot. Check out my server list to get detailed stats on 25 Game Servers. Soon Microbot will be able to script BBSs too. If you know of any Game Servers I missed, please let me know.

I'm still tweaking the pages. I just spent a few hours doing whois searches and IP tracers to find the locations of all the game servers and BBSs on the list. I added this to the server details page, and linked it to google maps. Now you can easily see where all these servers are located :)

Did you know there are TradeWars servers in Australia, Portugal, and Guam?

Very nice! I did know about Australia & Guam but not Portugal. I understand TW is very popular in Germany too, but all private games.

There were so many more servers when I left 8 years ago. Check out Hekate's old list:

I just checked all of these and almost none of them are online.

Well, I'm not sure about Portugal. The whois record for Chaos Kinghts (chaos-knights.com:2002) is:

Registrant:
Domain Discreet
ATTN: chaos-knights.com
Rua Dr. Brito Camara, n 20, 1
Funchal, Madeira 9000-039
PT
Phone: 1-902-7495331

But http://www.ip-adress.com/ip_tracer/ comes back with "Brandon FL 33511 US".

I guess the register is in Portugal?

I was trying to submit more accurate info for Rogue Galaxy, which should take the place of Rogue Group on your list. The form on your site is giving me errors though, saying there are invalid characters or that the entry is too long for Domain and Website.

Here is the info, if you could just update it by hand.

Server Name: Rogue Galaxy
Telnet Domain: roguegalaxy.no-ip.com
Website: roguegalaxy.com
GameOp Handle: orion

Thanks

Thanks for the update! I have manually entered it into the database.

I will fix the validator as soon as I get a chance. It isn't allowing punctuation characters in domain names.

MicroBlaster

Yes - it only works for a 7500 sector universe - because the back end files that are read are different sizes based on the universe that is built. I plan to get everything going again and set it up as a 30,000 sector universe using TWGS 2.0. The problem as always is my available time. Hopefully it will be done soon.
